but, even though I started this drawing mid-January,
I still couldn't decide how I wanted to lay-out my greeting card,
choice of font, type of paper stock....
(this is what graphic design folks fret about)
I knew only that I wanted the image below,
and below that: por vida, on a ribbon...
and on the tattoo on my arm, that ribbon would say
the name of the receiver of my greeting card.
(This card was meant for my best girl friends, cousins, siblings and mom.)
I'm not so into such fake holidays as Valentine's day, but,
I do really enjoy greeting cards, mail, writing letters...
oh, and did I mention I have a degree in Graphic Design-
it's what I do for my day job...so, it's a given that
I'd be really into making my own cards....
Anywhoot, I thought this illustration was kind of, silly....
I was thinking along the lines of:
'I love you so much I got this tattoo for you...'
Except, not in a weird, romantic way....
Eeeeeooook, I'll just stop writing and let the image speak for itself.
The one thing I DO, however wanna point out is what I learned from all this.
I realized it'd be best to just do, instead of fret over THE perfect card.
I'm not one for perfection anyway,
though I do think it's possible to come close sometimes...
The point being: less fretting, more action....
